GGT test in The Springs, read by a doctor.
Most The Springs residents who book a GGT with us have either a family history, a vague symptom they can't shake, or a "borderline" result from somewhere else. High GGT independently predicts cardiovascular mortality.
Why The Springs patients use us
The Springs is a community where people tend to stay for years, build relationships with their neighbours, and want the same from their healthcare — which is exactly what Aafiyah offers. Instead of a different face every visit, families across The Springs have access to one named GP, home visits when needed, and a free 15-minute call if you're not sure whether a visit is necessary. Whether it's a child running a fever, blood tests for the whole family, or ongoing support for an elderly relative living with you, our team is built around getting to know you — not just treating the symptom in front of us.
